The Strategy outlines a framework of programmes to increase the economy's resilience to climate change by encouraging a transition to low carbon development and replacing imported fossil fuels with indigenous renewable sources.
Strategic goals include: (1) increase energy efficiency by 30% by 2033 (2011 base year); (2) reduce dependence on fossil fuels by 50% by 2020; (3) triple the amount of energy derived from waste materials; (4) become a net electricity exporter by 2020; and (5) build the Ministry's institutional capacity to accomplish these mandates.
The Strategy articulates the need to develop an Energy-Efficiency and Conservation Policy after collecting end-use data from relevant sectors that includes: revised building codes, energy efficient appliance standards, and energy audits of commercial and high-use buildings.

Reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels consumption by 50% by 2020, from one million barrels to one-half million barrels by 2020 against a 2011 baseline
Energy, Target year: 2020Triple the amount of modern energy carriers derived from Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries production and processing, including municipal solid waste (MSW) by 2020 compared 2011
Energy, Target year: 2020Reduce by 50% the number of rural households that are now using firewood for fuel to other more environmentally friendly biofuels cooking systems such as plant oil and biogas cookers, or solar cookers by 2020
Energy, Target year: 2020Note
